4 types of tissue
Epithelial
Connective
Muscular
Nervous
Epithelial tissue
Covers body surfaces and lines hollow organs, body cavities, ducts, and forms glands
Connective tissue
Protects, supports, and binds organs
Stores energy as fat, provides immunity
Muscular tissue
Generates the physical force needed to make body structures move and generate body heat
Nervous tissue
Detects changes in body and responds by generating nerve impulses
Simple squamous
Filtration
Simple cuboidal
Secretion, absorption
Stratified squamous
Protection from abrasion/UV/foreign invasion, prevent h2o loss
Stratified cubodial
Protection, excretion/absorption
Stratified columnar
Protection, secretion
Nonciliated simple columnar
Secretion, absorption, microvilli increase surface area. Goblet cells secrete mucus
Ciliated simple columnar
Moves materials such as mucus or an egg
Nonciliated pseudostratified columnar
Absorption, secretion
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar
Secretion, moved mucus
Transitional epithelium
Allows stretching
